in-band-mgmt
Configures the front-panel ports as the management interface that the SDN controller connects to.
Syntax
in-band-mgmt interface ethernet node/slot/port[:subport]
Parameters node/slot/port[:subport]Enter the physical port information.
Default None
Command Mode OPENFLOW CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Use this command to convert any one of the front-panel ports as the management interface. This
port is not part of the OpenFlow logical switch instance. All the ports are L2 ports by default. If you
configure one of the front-panel ports as the management interface, the port becomes an L3 port. You
can configure an L3 IPv4 address only to the front-panel port that you have specified in this command.
Ensure that you have IP connectivity between the specified port and the controller.
The no form of this command removes this configuration and the front-panel port becomes part of the
OpenFlow logical switch instance.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# in-band-mgmt interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10 (config-openflow)# no shutdown

max-backoff
Configures the time interval, in seconds, that the logical switch instance waits after requesting a connection with the OpenFlow
controller.
Syntax
max-backoff interval
Parameters intervalEnter the amount of time, in seconds, that the logical switch instance waits after it
attempts to establish a connection with the OpenFlow controller, from 1 to 65,535.
Default 8 seconds
Command Mode OPENFLOW SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
If the interval time lapses, the logical switch instance re-attempts to establish a connection with the
OpenFlow controller.
Example
OS10 (config)# openflow
OS10 (config-openflow)# switch of-switch-1
OS10 (config-openflow-switch)# max-backoff 25
